DCS AND GROUP HOME PARTNERSHIPS

Getting Involved as a Community

Looking for a consistent ‘give back’ activity? OCJ Kids’ goal is to get every Group Home and DCS Office in Arizona connected with a business or church.

This community effort allows partners to provide support to foster kids in care.

OUR MISSION

Youth are amazing! They hope, dream, challenge, learn and lay the groundwork for their futures and ours.  The education, experience and family values instilled in a teen will follow them for the rest of their lives.  Every day, youth in society are exposed to unhealthy and unstable futures.

OCJ Kids’ mission is to equip foster and at-risk children and youth by providing them tools, resources, and positive role models to succeed and excel in every area of life.
